Have you ever been troubled by recurring or confusing dreams? Intrigued by your own personal sleeptime stories? Sigmund Freud described dreams as “the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious,” and now you can record your dreams upon awakening to learn from their symbolic messages. Dream logging leads to improved dreaming and self-understanding—and it couldn’t be easier in this concise, fill-in-the-blank, fully explained and historicized, place-by-your-bedside format.
Includes fascinating yet digestible “Dreaming 101”—an 8-page essay on the history of dream analysis, from caveman prophesies to Freud to neurological science
The How-To section explains all that users need to know in order to record and interpret dreams, while Helpful Tips instruct the dreamer in ways to encourage dream recall as well as easy techniques for substantive dream analysis
The substance of the Dream Log lies in its log pages, carefully concocted to function as a questionaire rather than a blank journal, a useful structure that assists sleepy analyzers in understanding themselves through their dreams while alleviating the pressure of a blank page
The log pages divide the analytic process into two stages—record and reflect. In the record phase, the dreamer chronicles the dream itself. Interpretation takes place afterward, in the reflect phase. Over time, these pages provide a dream history for the examination of long-term psychic patterns.
